This two-bedroom apartment in a luxury city-centre development offers turnkey, high-spec living aimed at short- or medium-term lettings. The building’s concierge, cinema room, gym, sauna/steam and meeting spaces add clear tenant appeal and differentiate it from standard city flats.
The apartment is well-sized at 669 sq ft with an open-plan kitchen/diner, a master bedroom with en-suite, built-in wardrobes and plenty of natural light. Allocated parking and excellent transport links (Snow Hill area) support both commuter and student demand.
Buyers should note material running costs and local context: a high average service charge (£3,500pa), ground rent (£200pa) and leasehold tenure, set within a cosmopolitan, student-dominated neighbourhood with a higher local crime rate. These factors affect net yield and management responsibilities.
For investors, the property’s amenity-rich development and proximity to universities/stations support strong lettability; for owner-occupiers seeking city convenience, the high service charge and active student area may be less suitable. The long lease (circa 247 years) and EPC B are positives for longevity and compliance.
